This isn't learn Thai videos. This is just a guy speaking Thai. 

 

I might as well watch Thai movies which is more interesting.

 

 

 

 

It is a girl speaking Thai and I would have thought if you can speak Thai you would know that just by the sound of her voice.

Secondly I think the videos are clearly spoken and helpful.

I take it you are not retired LOL

 

Well I have lived in Thailand for 5 years now and have not worked for 5 years. So am I retired or just lazy?

The date of you transit flight is the date it leaves the airport for Bangkok. In your case it is the 14/02.

That is my experience of when I had a COE.

I imagine there are private hospitals with vaccines? 

No only the NHS are giving vacines.

I renewed my licence last month in Udon. I am not going to take a chance on insurance not covering me due to an expired licence.

I walked in and applied for the renewel and was in and out with my licences within an hour.

In Pattaya this ban was not enforced. Only a few bars closed,most opened as normal.

No such requirement ,I used to get stopped and would show my UK licence and my IDL and it was always fine.

Now I have a Thai 5 year licence.

Photos are not needed.

At most offices you will only need your passport and a completed TM47 form.

At Udon you just hand them your passport and they do everything themselves.

Hello,

 

My date of departure is on 29 APRIL 16.00. I arrive on DOHA on 29 APRIL 23.00. Then I'll wait few hours, ( it will be then already 30 APRIL ), so my flight from DOHA to BKK, will be all on the 30 APRIL.

 

So my CoE indicate,

 

Date of departure 29 APRIL

Date of transit 30 APRIL

Date of arrival 30 APRIL

 

Do the CoE is correct ? even I'll be inside the DOHA airport between 29 to 30 APRIL ?

 

 

Yes it is correct.

That's my thinking also, especially since it has a clear date of departure. I've sent an email about it to confirm if it's correct or not and more importantly foes it matter or affect anything. I'll post the response once I receive it

I left the UK on 5th December and arrived in Doha for transit on 6th and arrived in Thailand on 6th.

My COE stated date of departure 5th December,date of transit 6th December and date of arrival in Thailand 6th December.

Did anyone get an accurate and correct answer to what date should be listed on the COE in the Date of Transit  field?

 

My COE that just arrived today shows Departure Date as April 2, Date of Transit April 2 and Date of Arrival April 4.  I leave on April 2, fly to Doha arriving on April 3, then leave Doha on April 3 and Arrive in Thailand April 4. 

 

  The use of certain words on Thai documents can be confusing as they can be interpreted more than 1 way.   I know my info is correct that I supplied for the COE as I typed the wrong date the first time entering the date for the COE and it would not go thru until I corrected it to match the flight detail to match both flights on my ticket. 

The date of transit is the date you transit. If you arrive in Doha on the 3rd and leave on the 3rd then your date of transit is the 3rd.

My Certificate of Entry (CoE) has a wrong date of transit. will this cause any issue?

 

I leave my place on March 17, transit on March 18 and arrive on March 19. However my CoE indicates March 17 instead March 18 as my date of transit. This is because on my CoE application, we're being asked to indicate the date of the first transit flight (which in my case is March 17), however they use it on my CoE as the date of transit which is incorrect in my case.

 

I'll contact the Thai embassy + my airline ASAP but I'd like to hear from people with similar experience (which I assume is commonplace given the issue on the CoE application form).

The Embassy will need to issue you a new COE with the correct transit date. There have been many reports of mistakes being made and the Embassies have always re issued the COE promptly.

Udon Thani- Huaysamphat yesterday evening we had a storm at about 6pm and it absolutely pi  ssed down with strong winds and thunder and lightening.

That's just your opinion. I say that they are free. If a government office/police have any administration fee for a piece of paper, it would be no more than 100 baht. If they tell you it is 500 baht, they are doing something illegal and should be reported. 

Who are you going to report them to ? And do you not think your card would be marked for causing trouble ?

Can change the Euros, while arriving in the Suvarnabhumi airport ? even is restricted with the ASQ

 

Can use also the ATM after the the immigration, in case ? 

 

If not, can also change the Euros bills, around Bangkok ?

You will have to finish your ASQ before you can change your money.

I renewed my car and motorbike licence last week in Udon Thani ,Nongsung branch.

I went to Immigration and asked for the residence certificate and said I only want 1 copy as I will use a photocopy . I was told you can not use a photocopy.I held my ground and just paid for 1.

Udon Immigration charge 500 baht.

When I read the residence certificate which was in Thai it stated that it was for a motor car. If I had asked for a second certificate it would have said motorcyle.

I then began to worry as I thought I would not be able to use a photocopy of the car certificate of residence for the motorbike licence.

I went to a clinic and got 1 medical certificate which was expensive at 300 baht. Previously I got one from the local hospital and it was 25 baht. My girlfriend renewed hers recently and was charged 80 baht at a different clinic.

Anyway I went to the Transport office and they just said go downstairs and photocopy the certificate of residence and tge medical certificate.

30 minutes later I had both car and motorbike 5 year licences.

there is already 600b tax to thai government included in air fare (till 2016 it was payed on departure, at the airport).

 

This tax was paid at the airport until February 2007.After then it was included in the ticket price.

I have been involved in two accidents over the decades. Neither time did anyone ask to see my license. I called the insurance company they sent a guy out and he sent me on my way and handled everything with the police.  

I have had 2 previous claims and am now awaiting parts for my 3rd claim and the insurance company has taken copies of my drivers licence as did the company doing the repairs.

My Thai licence expired in July last year as I was out of country and could not return and renew due to covid. I knew that I had a year to renew after expiry however I got myself an international drivers permit in the UK before I returned and for my current claim produced this along with my UK drivers licence.
